Gran Canaria CG-500 from Puerto Rico towards Mogan

[Finlandese]

Took a break from grilling myself on the sun, and went for a morning run

Great roads. Saw some bikers enjoying them the other day too. Why can´t you rent a Seven in Gran Canaria?

Meet any artics on the corners? You learn to listen for the sound of truck horns as they come round blind corners on your side, it's like the horn is an extra bumper

Almost no traffic, as I went on saturday morning, starting before sunrise. Will go again this weekend to find some new roads..

Well that brings back memories, I used to live in Puerto Rico in 2002

Those roads weren't as much fun in a 1.2 Clio or a 1.6 Megane though...!

Reminds me of the last time I was there in 1998. Hired Ford Ka with the sound of thrashing valvegear bouncing back from the tunnel walls. Otherwise, surprisingly good fun.

Bloody great road. Have you tried the GC200 north along the coast to Agaete? They are building a new road, which might be a good idea as the GC200 can be a little ahem frightening (though spectacular) in places.

The Canaries have some fabulous roads. Thanks for sharing.

My rental had suprisingly robust valve gear too.. :-)

I did and it was great! Didn´t have a camera with me, though. Had a run on the Fataga road. It was fantastic, so I made a new thread about it:

Murdered a Hyundai Getz hire car around those roads (anticlockwise tour of the island and into the centre) a number of years back. Loved it. Stayed in Arginiguin (sp.)....but spent a bit of time in Mogan....beautiful.
